Wow…a good suggestion from YouTube: “If you haven’t already, put a bellypan, grille block, and rear wheel skirts on that thing and remove the roof rack if you don’t need it. Reducing drag can dramatically improve highway range.”
Note: I can’t find the $!*# key for the roof rack!

Last week I commuted four times in the RAVolt including 2 in light rain. Driving the EV is different and will take some explaining. I’m getting used to the route and that helps me conserve power. For example, I’m learning how to meter my power on the hills and where I can be lighter on the accelerator.
